Title: Field-Portable Immunoassay Instruments and Reagents to Measure Chelators and Mobile Forms of Uranium

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/893872· OSTI ID:893872

Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated the feasibility of immunoassays for identification and quantification of specific metal ions. Our ultimate goal for this project is to (1) isolate and characterize antibodies that recognize the most mobile form of uranium, UO22+; (2) assemble, test, and validate a new field-portable immunosensor based on these antibodies; (3) prepare new monoclonal antibodies to the primary chelators (EDTA and DTPA) found in DOE wastes.
